I've noticed an infrequent but consistent tendency for the system to panic with "free vnode isn't" some time after hitting inode exhaustion. With a sample size of only a few instances, all I can establish is that I have NOT seen a "free vnode isn't" panic without first having run out of inodes. (system is running 1026-SNAP, by the way, which may be significant - I never saw this panic under 2.0.5R, but then again, I can't recall ever having run out of inodes under 2.0.5R) ...
